Is it weird for a guy to like Titanic lol? All my friends laugh at me... I don't like it because of the whole love story so much, but just as a good movie...
all the time,i asked myself if i can dead like William,save people and don't think about yourself,fight to end,and i don't know...it's so sad...R.I.P.
@jefferpocketrock I think - but it's my opinion - that Mr. Murdoch is upset in seeing Ismay's cowardice, but he doesn't feel like blaming him because he himself (in the movie) had just done something as much reproachable in accepting money from Cal.
Or maybe he just doesn't feel like reproaching anyone for trying to save his life.
@PaleMagnolia I think you are right with the cowardice part since if I recall that part of the movie is when he climbs on board one of the lifeboats when it was supposed to be women and children first.
@jefferpocketrock His look just says 'you son of a bitch'. Because Ismay was more worried about saving his own skin. That was his infamous legacy compared to Thomas Andrews. Though historically, Ismay testified that heafter he ushered all the passengers he could until there were no more around and he got on as the last person. But Murdoch couldn't do anything or order Ismay out because that was his ship and lifeboat. Murdoch was also the only one on Titanic to refuse a bribe by Cal.
@jefferpocketrock women and children are priorities, men cannot board these boats yet. Mr. Ismay was just helping Mr. Modorch, and plus what PaleMagnolia has said.
@drummadude03 He did not comit suicide it was one of the few mistakes that both cameron and the director of A Night to Remember did. If fact there is some evidence that sugests that he lost his balance and went overboard, and yes I agree he was a great man :)
@MasterOfTrains noooo second officer charles lighttoller saw murdoch trying to free a collapable lifeboat when he was swept into the water the account may of herd shooting so it was probly to keep the people back

I feel bad for Murdock. He was the Officer of the Deck when the Titanic hit the burg, so I can assume he felt so much guilt as he was loading the lifeboats.
as much as i do interest in the titanic and the whole story and the building and the engineering about it - i was looking for ewan stewart and found him just in the same video as will murdoch - and i'd just like to say that i wouldn't mind if he climbed down my chimney for christmas. CUTE!!!
It was a shame the way they depicted Mr Murdoch's death in the movie. Actual accounts from survivors stated that he was in the water trying to save lives until the very end.
from everything I have read on him that man WILLIAM MURDOCH indeed was a hero saving as many as he could that fateful day. I just wish they didn't make his death the way they did in the movie.
Even though many people thought the movie made a villain out of Murdoch, it did portray him as good.
He was the only guy on Titanic who rejected a bribe from Cal. And he shot himself out of guilt after killing two people. He was in the heaven scene looking better than ever.
I don't see why Captain Smith even listened to Ismay about going faster (so it alleges). Ismay may own the Titanic, but he is a passenger and not the captain. Officer Lowe had the guts to tell Ismay to stow it.
I dont think the movie portrayed him badly, but I question whether he actually shot himself. It was rumored that either he or Chief Officer Henry Wilde shot themselves shortly before the waterline reached the bridge.
But in the movie, he is shown to reject the bribe from Cal, and is noticably horrified after he realizes he killed an innocent person (Tommy Ryan, who is fictional, which again casts doubt on the accuracy of the scene).
Yeah, it might've been Officer Wilde or 6th Officer Moody that committed suicide because neither were seen much towards the end.
The movie got away showing Wilde in the water with the whistle.
Some people said they saw Murdoch get swept away by a wave as he tried to free a lifeboat and was alive in the water, or he was shoved overboard in a riot of people trying to get in the boat..
I loved his last name. I had looked it up and i thought it went well with him. And His father too, he became my hero. He left behind a lovely wife too. I wondered how much she of felt when she lost her husband. He was good man.
William McCaster Murdoch was a hero and did not shoot himself. He was reported alive in the water after the ship went under. He obviously froze to death, and his body was never identified.
Bruce Ismay showed recklessly poor judgment by pressuring Captain Smith to steam Titanic @ full speed at night in the middle of a minefield of icebergs. That being said, once the ship actually hit the iceberg and started sinking, even though he was not officially a member of the crew he did assist many women and children in entering the lifeboats and entered the a lifeboat towards the end of the sinking only after it was clear no women were around at all and there was space available for him.
i wonder how he really died?? many people says theat he died when the wave washed him of, and/or when he shoot himself, and when he was taking a baby to a boat and went back to the titani and died! some body please and tell my the truth!!!!!! love william murdoch by the way!!
And the reason Ismay was branded a coward was because of William Randolph Hearst and yellow journalism. Hearst and Ismay never got along, since Ismay was a very private person who didn't like attention from the press. Hearst found this opportunity to bastardize Ismay, and through sensational ("yellow") journalism, Ismay was branded a coward in America, while in reality, he was on the complete opposite side of the spectrum of being a coward. Besides, he was ordered into the lifeboat by Wilde.
My salute to all white star line crews.We have to pioneer something to make the ships unsinkable or to get to nearest harber.Better to attach high thrust turbofans to the ships.
I resent the shabby way Murdoch was treated in Titanic 97. Cameron treated Murdoch as though he were criminally responsible for what happened to the Titanic. The sad truth is that he only had less than a minute to decide how to handle that iceberg and he was trapped in a no win situation.
No one should ever be forced to make the sort of decision that William Murdoch had to make.
I agree with you about not blame Murdoch nor Lightoller for the sinking - but Ismay regretted what he had done all his life, and committed suicide not too long after the sinking.
He jumped on a lifeboat, that's right - but lots of people did: he was completely terrorized, who wouldn't have?
I can not put all the blame on him, really. He was just a poor devil, after all...
Both of you are entirely wrong about Ismay and Smith. Ismay never jumped into a lifeboat, nor did he ever commit suicide shortly after the sinking. Where are you getting this information from? I REALLY hope you're not basing your facts off of Cameron's Titanic.
And Captain Smith was one of the heroes of the ordeal! Why brand him- or Ismay for that matter- an asshole or coward? Please explain to me your reasoning.
Smith never ordered more speed to the ship. It was he who actually changed course to avoid a reported ice field, and did NOT or have any intention of endangering his passengers. Captain Smith is definitely not responsible for the disaster.
Ismay never commited suicide. He died of a cerebral thrombosis in 1937. And you've yet to explain why you think he's a coward; Ismay NEVER jumped into a lifeboat. Where are you getting all of this information? It's all terribly inaccurate.
Of course Smith had no intention of endangering his passengers - but it's on record that a survivor witnessed Smith's order to speed up the ship. Nobody knows if it's actually TRUE - but that was reported by many of the newspapers of the time, and the recent essays and books report it. Ismay *DID* take place on one of the last lifeboats - that's a fact; that doesn't make him a coward, anyway!
My infos come from W. Lord's book, some essays and many websites - and the chronicles of the process.
Thank you for your agreement and your support of facts. Ismay did indeed take a place in a lifeboat, but it wasn't exactly out of choice. He and Mr. Carter (the owner of the Renault) were frantically trying to find women and children and get them into the lifeboat. Ismay had been doing so for most of the evening, loading and lowering lifeboats (in his bare feet most of the time!). After he and Carter couldn't find any women and children, Chief Officer Wilde ordered them on the lifeboat.
The conversation never happened, as people nearby and Ismay himself all said that the conversation never existed. It's a confusion between another conversation with Ismay had with the Chief Engineer, where they discussed the possible speed of the Titanic. Captain Smith would have never let Ismay pressure him him anyways, and Lightoller himself said that Smith was never operating the ship at too fast of a speed.
Likely the conversation never took place, but what I was trying to say is that, during the process and the following years, lots of people were convinced it was actually happened. The rumour deeply influenced public opinion - that's why many chronicles of the time (also reliable ones), books, and most of the movies about the Titanic sinking report that as a fact.
I don't believe Ismay so fool to give such a dangerous suggestion, but, hey!, it was 1912 - we can't compare our knowledge to theirs.
Ismay admitted he took place into a lifeboat during the process. It's a fact, I'm not inventing it: how he could have saved himself, otherwise? If he had jumped into the icy water, he probably wouldn't have stayed alive to tell it.
You're right, I don't know if Ismay actually committed suicide: it was reported into an essay about Titanic I read recently - I thought it was true, but it can also be just a rumor (the book isn't accurate, it was written by a Titanic 'fan' during the 1940s).
I do not want to think He shot anyone but he died saving kives. I m Glad at least he threw all that money into cal's face. I Think would never take a bride.
he didnt shot himself or take a bribe he died throwing deck chairs into the water to help more people survive when a wave washd him and officer wilde off
James Cameron did a good job with the cast. Murdoch's a good guy. The Murdoch in the movie was Cameron's way of making it more dramatic. He had to apologize to his family.
But historically survivors said different things. Some said he shot a passenger before shooting himself, some said he was swept away by the water, and some said he was last seen shaking hands with another officer to say their last goodbyes.
Ok, let's say something about the "shot himself or not" thing: Walter Lord reported in his book ("A Night to Remember", the essay that was followed by Cameron in the making of the movie), that some passengers said they have seen Ct. Smith and Murdoch kill themselves.
I don't know if it's true or false. Nobody knows, actually. So, why don't we just stop quarrelling about that, hmm?
people say he didnt actually shoot himself or anybody else. i read somewhere james cameron had to send people to scotland to apologise to his family for the way he portrayed him in the movie
Pause at 1:57. Too sad. Ismay being the !@#$ that he was went on the last boat. You can see the astonishesd look or Murdoch's face if you look. I know he felt backstabbed. I always felt a weird connection to Murdoch.
Yeah, it's terrible, isn't it? Poor Murdoch, who was to be Chief Officier and then demoted to First Officier.
And when he was, at last, resigned to that, the ship sunk under his feet and everyone he trusted - Smith, Ismay, Lightoller - is doing the wrong thing...
could you maybe make a vid of some of the main cast and crew member's deaths? not that i like anything about the people dying. its sad and i like sad parts so i want a vid w/ sad parts such as deaths and stuff. plz and thank you.
I don't know if there are enough clips in the movie to do what you ask me to do , but I was already thinking about doing a crew tribute, and it would certainly include their heroic deaths.
if u want to blame someone for titanic crashing into the iceberg then blame that idiot ismay he was the one who told the captain to go faster, so they can have the glory of proving titanic was not only an unsinkable ship but the fastest as well, at least murdoch stayed behind and saved lifes, the only life ismay saved was his own.
he was not worthless he risked his life to save the passengers, if it was not for him and the other members of the crew, they would have all died, he saved woman and childrens lifes, so show some respect.
Did you guys know that Mr. Murdoch was to be Chief Officer? When White Star brought Wilde on as Chief, they bumped Murdoch down to First and Lighttoller down to Second. The original 2nd officer, David Blair, sat out the voyage. However, Blair had a key to a locker containing binoculars for the lookouts.
Yeah, the fact Blair did have the key was one of the little things that, sum with the other (no moon, calm water, no wind, etc), did not permit to see the iceberg.
And, Poor Murdoch!
He was told he would have been Chief Officier almost one year before! He had one entire YEAR to think about that, and then the WSL administration changed all the gerarchy at the last moment.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And its absolutely bloody awful that british faggots pay that Murdoch bastard any respect whatsoever. He deserves to burn in hell that corrupted bastard. Thomas Andrews atleast said he was sorry that he didnt build a stronger ship, fag Murdoch just blew his corrupted brains out. Most likely because people had killed him at sight when they knew what he had done. FUCK MURDOCH! So the "Unsinkable" Titanic sunk, James Bond megalomania much?!
The Titanic officiers did have guns with them, but there's no evidence at all they used it against people. Some passengers said that they remembered officiers shooting on air to mantain order, but nobody actually SAW one of them shooting someone. That doesn't mean it hadn't happened, but we must remember that the situation was desperate, with people gone crazy and violent with fear.
BTW, Murdoch's murders and suicide are Cameron's invention; actually, he saved lots of ppl
He didn't shoot himself, this was the films pov to make it more interesting, now don't dare disrespect 1 of my heros he actully went down with the ship theres one person who shud rott in hell and thats that coward ismay actually no theres another oh yh it's u!
Now i can't say that it wasn't Mr. Murdoch's fault for the Titanic hitting the Berg because there were a million diffrent ways he could have avoided it but I can say that he did what only a hero would do and that is save countless lives during the sinking of the Titanic. There fore, i find him a great man and he should never be forgotten.

Its a fact that they shot and killed people for real while they were shouting: Women and children only. I wouldnt be too surprised if that corrupted mad man Murdoch was involved.
r u fucking retarded?let me ask u something,where do you get all this bullshit from?or are u one of those fucking morons who just makes something up and decides to call it fact?murdoch was a true hero,&EVERYTHING in this movie was made up.the movie makers themselves release a statement to the press saying that,&donated quite a large sum to the William Murdoch tribute fund started in his honour.god ur an idiot.just do us all a favour&stop talking&blowing shit out of ur ass&calling it the truth!!!
From worlds greatest director James Cameron, you crazy man. Murdoch got away easy when he blew his corrupted brains out, atleast Bruce Ismay had to deal with it for the rest of his life. I hate traitors like Murdoch. Idiot said turn while in fact a full head on collision with the iceberg had saved Titanic and its passengers. Who is the fool now, idiot? Naturally Cameron would say "we are sorry" but he didnt mean it at all. AND HE MURDERED PASSENGERS TOO that bloody scumbag.
You're right! Murdoch was an idiot for following standard 1912 procedure!
What he should have done was jumped in his DeLorean and travelled to the future and asked you about the situation, with your expert knowledge and years of maritime experience!
Hindsight is a great thing buddy, but it's ultimately useless in a life or death situation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That worthless corrupted bastard Murdoch MURDERED people you know.....! I dont know what this have to do with 1912, didnt people have brains back then? Or were they all british fagots?
actually, according to silumation tests and mathamatical answers show that a head on collision with the iceberg would have sunk the titanic in 15 to 20 minutes, like the Lusitania killing every 1 on board unexpectedly, so get ur fuking facts righ u FUKING maggot, it not Murdoch's fult that the titanic sunk, mabe it was the captian's cause he got several warings that ice bergs were in the area and he still ordered the ship to be saided at FULL AHEAD
@DaBulldog4LYF I think that above all, we should look at Ismay because he cut out a lot of the safety features that would have and could have kept Titanic afloat.
Cameron is an idiot. Murdoch didn't commit suicide. If anyone did, it would have been Chief Officer Wilde; his wife and child died in a car accident a few years earlier; that and Thomas Andrews' news that Titanic was doomed must have made him a little unstable, and he was a passive figure throughout the sinking, even more so than Captain Smith. William Murdoch was a hero, and we shall never forget the sacrifices he made.
Wow i loved these Scenes but i hated the fact that Cameron made Murdoch out to be a Murderer and committed Suicide. It is common knowledge among titanic enthusiasts that it was untrue that William Murdoch killed a passenger and the part about his death is a speculation. Anyway great video the ending was so moving that i Cried.
Thank you very much for your appreciations, I decided not to put the suicide and the murder scene exactly because I think it was too much disrespectful on Murdoch's memory: Cameron tried to follow precisely the real history of the Titanic, I don't explain myself why has he done such a distortion of that character...
I think it was a great shame that they misrepresented Murdoch in that way - particularly as it was disrespectful and hurtful to his family and descendants. I think they were trying to portray him as a man who would do his duty no matter how difficult the choices but whose conscience could not live with the actions he was forced to take. Although this made up incident was not fair on those he left behind - I did find that whole scene the most moving and choking of the entire film.
I agree, Murdoch was a great man Bill Paxton said in Ghosts of the Abyss that 2/3rds of the people who survived had Murdoch to thank for it, I couldn't watch that scene for years after, it was too incredibly moving and horrible.
You watched Ghost of The Abyss, too! I liked it really much, it's an amazing documentary, isn't it? And, you're right about Murdoch, he saved lots of people!
He really did and yeah it was an amazing documentary! It was so cool seeing all the 3D figures over the top of the underwater Titanic. Apparently William was trying to free collapsible 'A' when a a wave knocked them off the deck. I think they said the wireless operator who survived saw him in the water near to collapsible 'B' but he'd already died in the water. William was a hero and I think it was wrong considering all the evidence for James Cameron to assume that he would have shot himself.
rip william murdoch, you were a hero, unlike some of the cowards onboard

Ismay is still a victim too..
TheGreenSabre22 2 years ago
And the reason Ismay was branded a coward was because of William Randolph Hearst and yellow journalism. Hearst and Ismay never got along, since Ismay was a very private person who didn't like attention from the press. Hearst found this opportunity to bastardize Ismay, and through sensational ("yellow") journalism, Ismay was branded a coward in America, while in reality, he was on the complete opposite side of the spectrum of being a coward. Besides, he was ordered into the lifeboat by Wilde.

R.I.P William Murdoch!!!!
Zweitagsfliege1 2 years ago 2
I resent the shabby way Murdoch was treated in Titanic 97. Cameron treated Murdoch as though he were criminally responsible for what happened to the Titanic. The sad truth is that he only had less than a minute to decide how to handle that iceberg and he was trapped in a no win situation.
No one should ever be forced to make the sort of decision that William Murdoch had to make.

I agree with you about not blame Murdoch nor Lightoller for the sinking - but Ismay regretted what he had done all his life, and committed suicide not too long after the sinking.
He jumped on a lifeboat, that's right - but lots of people did: he was completely terrorized, who wouldn't have?
I can not put all the blame on him, really. He was just a poor devil, after all...
PaleMagnolia 2 years ago
Both of you are entirely wrong about Ismay and Smith. Ismay never jumped into a lifeboat, nor did he ever commit suicide shortly after the sinking. Where are you getting this information from? I REALLY hope you're not basing your facts off of Cameron's Titanic.
And Captain Smith was one of the heroes of the ordeal! Why brand him- or Ismay for that matter- an asshole or coward? Please explain to me your reasoning.

Smith never ordered more speed to the ship. It was he who actually changed course to avoid a reported ice field, and did NOT or have any intention of endangering his passengers. Captain Smith is definitely not responsible for the disaster.
Ismay never commited suicide. He died of a cerebral thrombosis in 1937. And you've yet to explain why you think he's a coward; Ismay NEVER jumped into a lifeboat. Where are you getting all of this information? It's all terribly inaccurate.
OlympicClassDandy 2 years ago
Of course Smith had no intention of endangering his passengers - but it's on record that a survivor witnessed Smith's order to speed up the ship. Nobody knows if it's actually TRUE - but that was reported by many of the newspapers of the time, and the recent essays and books report it. Ismay *DID* take place on one of the last lifeboats - that's a fact; that doesn't make him a coward, anyway!
My infos come from W. Lord's book, some essays and many websites - and the chronicles of the process.
PaleMagnolia 2 years ago
Thank you for your agreement and your support of facts. Ismay did indeed take a place in a lifeboat, but it wasn't exactly out of choice. He and Mr. Carter (the owner of the Renault) were frantically trying to find women and children and get them into the lifeboat. Ismay had been doing so for most of the evening, loading and lowering lifeboats (in his bare feet most of the time!). After he and Carter couldn't find any women and children, Chief Officer Wilde ordered them on the lifeboat.

The conversation never happened, as people nearby and Ismay himself all said that the conversation never existed. It's a confusion between another conversation with Ismay had with the Chief Engineer, where they discussed the possible speed of the Titanic. Captain Smith would have never let Ismay pressure him him anyways, and Lightoller himself said that Smith was never operating the ship at too fast of a speed.
OlympicClassDandy 2 years ago
Likely the conversation never took place, but what I was trying to say is that, during the process and the following years, lots of people were convinced it was actually happened. The rumour deeply influenced public opinion - that's why many chronicles of the time (also reliable ones), books, and most of the movies about the Titanic sinking report that as a fact.
I don't believe Ismay so fool to give such a dangerous suggestion, but, hey!, it was 1912 - we can't compare our knowledge to theirs.

harvestmoon102 2 years ago
Ismay admitted he took place into a lifeboat during the process. It's a fact, I'm not inventing it: how he could have saved himself, otherwise? If he had jumped into the icy water, he probably wouldn't have stayed alive to tell it.
You're right, I don't know if Ismay actually committed suicide: it was reported into an essay about Titanic I read recently - I thought it was true, but it can also be just a rumor (the book isn't accurate, it was written by a Titanic 'fan' during the 1940s).

James Cameron did a good job with the cast. Murdoch's a good guy. The Murdoch in the movie was Cameron's way of making it more dramatic. He had to apologize to his family.
But historically survivors said different things. Some said he shot a passenger before shooting himself, some said he was swept away by the water, and some said he was last seen shaking hands with another officer to say their last goodbyes.
FortitudeOfHeaven 3 years ago
I agree with you.
Ok, let's say something about the "shot himself or not" thing: Walter Lord reported in his book ("A Night to Remember", the essay that was followed by Cameron in the making of the movie), that some passengers said they have seen Ct. Smith and Murdoch kill themselves.
I don't know if it's true or false. Nobody knows, actually. So, why don't we just stop quarrelling about that, hmm?

Yeah, it's terrible, isn't it? Poor Murdoch, who was to be Chief Officier and then demoted to First Officier.
And when he was, at last, resigned to that, the ship sunk under his feet and everyone he trusted - Smith, Ismay, Lightoller - is doing the wrong thing...

if u want to blame someone for titanic crashing into the iceberg then blame that idiot ismay he was the one who told the captain to go faster, so they can have the glory of proving titanic was not only an unsinkable ship but the fastest as well, at least murdoch stayed behind and saved lifes, the only life ismay saved was his own.
HollyoaksFan2008 3 years ago 2
he was not worthless he risked his life to save the passengers, if it was not for him and the other members of the crew, they would have all died, he saved woman and childrens lifes, so show some respect.
HollyoaksFan2008 3 years ago 2
no he didn't shot himself he was helping to get the last lifeboat away and was swept away by the waves, william murdoch is a true scottish hero.
HollyoaksFan2008 3 years ago 2
Did you guys know that Mr. Murdoch was to be Chief Officer? When White Star brought Wilde on as Chief, they bumped Murdoch down to First and Lighttoller down to Second. The original 2nd officer, David Blair, sat out the voyage. However, Blair had a key to a locker containing binoculars for the lookouts.
GrandMasterIV 3 years ago 2
Yeah, the fact Blair did have the key was one of the little things that, sum with the other (no moon, calm water, no wind, etc), did not permit to see the iceberg.
And, Poor Murdoch!
He was told he would have been Chief Officier almost one year before! He had one entire YEAR to think about that, and then the WSL administration changed all the gerarchy at the last moment.

And its absolutely bloody awful that british faggots pay that Murdoch bastard any respect whatsoever. He deserves to burn in hell that corrupted bastard. Thomas Andrews atleast said he was sorry that he didnt build a stronger ship, fag Murdoch just blew his corrupted brains out. Most likely because people had killed him at sight when they knew what he had done. FUCK MURDOCH! So the "Unsinkable" Titanic sunk, James Bond megalomania much?!

Ok, let's make a point.
The Titanic officiers did have guns with them, but there's no evidence at all they used it against people. Some passengers said that they remembered officiers shooting on air to mantain order, but nobody actually SAW one of them shooting someone. That doesn't mean it hadn't happened, but we must remember that the situation was desperate, with people gone crazy and violent with fear.
BTW, Murdoch's murders and suicide are Cameron's invention; actually, he saved lots of ppl

There fore, i find him a great man and he should never be forgotten.

From worlds greatest director James Cameron, you crazy man. Murdoch got away easy when he blew his corrupted brains out, atleast Bruce Ismay had to deal with it for the rest of his life. I hate traitors like Murdoch. Idiot said turn while in fact a full head on collision with the iceberg had saved Titanic and its passengers. Who is the fool now, idiot? Naturally Cameron would say "we are sorry" but he didnt mean it at all. AND HE MURDERED PASSENGERS TOO that bloody scumbag.
DirtyHarryinaction 3 years ago
You're right! Murdoch was an idiot for following standard 1912 procedure!
What he should have done was jumped in his DeLorean and travelled to the future and asked you about the situation, with your expert knowledge and years of maritime experience!
Hindsight is a great thing buddy, but it's ultimately useless in a life or death situation.

actually, according to silumation tests and mathamatical answers show that a head on collision with the iceberg would have sunk the titanic in 15 to 20 minutes, like the Lusitania killing every 1 on board unexpectedly, so get ur fuking facts righ u FUKING maggot, it not Murdoch's fult that the titanic sunk, mabe it was the captian's cause he got several warings that ice bergs were in the area and he still ordered the ship to be saided at FULL AHEAD

@DaBulldog4LYF I think that above all, we should look at Ismay because he cut out a lot of the safety features that would have and could have kept Titanic afloat.
Dirtboy101 1 year ago
Cameron is an idiot. Murdoch didn't commit suicide. If anyone did, it would have been Chief Officer Wilde; his wife and child died in a car accident a few years earlier; that and Thomas Andrews' news that Titanic was doomed must have made him a little unstable, and he was a passive figure throughout the sinking, even more so than Captain Smith. William Murdoch was a hero, and we shall never forget the sacrifices he made.

Wow i loved these Scenes but i hated the fact that Cameron made Murdoch out to be a Murderer and committed Suicide.

Anyway great video the ending was so moving that i Cried.
piratesfan123 3 years ago 3
Thank you very much for your appreciations, I decided not to put the suicide and the murder scene exactly because I think it was too much disrespectful on Murdoch's memory: Cameron tried to follow precisely the real history of the Titanic, I don't explain myself why has he done such a distortion of that character...
PaleMagnolia 3 years ago
I think it was a great shame that they misrepresented Murdoch in that way - particularly as it was disrespectful and hurtful to his family and descendants. I think they were trying to portray him as a man who would do his duty no matter how difficult the choices but whose conscience could not live with the actions he was forced to take. Although this made up incident was not fair on those he left behind - I did find that whole scene the most moving and choking of the entire film.
hoss1962 3 years ago
I agree, Murdoch was a great man Bill Paxton said in Ghosts of the Abyss that 2/3rds of the people who survived had Murdoch to thank for it, I couldn't watch that scene for years after, it was too incredibly moving and horrible.

PaleMagnolia 3 years ago
He really did and yeah it was an amazing documentary! It was so cool seeing all the 3D figures over the top of the underwater Titanic. Apparently William was trying to free collapsible 'A' when a a wave knocked them off the deck. I think they said the wireless operator who survived saw him in the water near to collapsible 'B' but he'd already died in the water. William was a hero and I think it was wrong considering all the evidence for James Cameron to assume that he would have shot himself.
